Wuthering Heights is my all-time favorite book. Several people recommended this movie to me saying it closely followed the book. I came to this website to read further reviews and was happy to find almost all of them good. Last night i watched it for the first time and was completely disappointed. Not only is the story rushed to the point that makes it difficult to understand, but they totally ruined the characters for me. Heathliff is my favorite character in all of literature and to have him portrayed as such a quiet and reserved sap completely threw me. And why in the world does Cathy giggle all the time? And considering almost every other sentence in the book ends with an exclamation point i was extremely angry when through some of the most passionate scenes the actors were practically whispering to each other. The movie gave no real explanation of the true intenseness of Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship and frankly i can't understand why anyone could be sad after watching this movie. Honestly, i was happy when they both died. I would definitely not recommend this movie to any true fan of the book. And anyone who has never read the book should skip the movie before it ruins the story for them.
